Healthcare Recruitment for Australian Employers

Need Qualified Healthcare Professionals?

Healthcare Staffing helps Australian healthcare employers recruit skilled medical, nursing and allied health professionals from Australia and overseas.

Whether you are trying to fill one difficult vacancy or planning a larger workforce recruitment campaign, our specialist healthcare recruitment team can help you identify, attract and recruit suitably qualified professionals.

As the healthcare recruitment division of Konnecting, we offer employers something different from a traditional healthcare recruitment agency: specialist recruitment combined with Australian skilled migration and employer sponsorship expertise.

This service is for Australian employers seeking healthcare staff.

​

Healthcare Recruitment Across Australia

Finding suitably qualified healthcare professionals can be difficult, particularly for specialist, allied health and regional positions.

Healthcare Staffing works with healthcare organisations across Australia, including employers in the following:

• Sydney and New South Wales

• Melbourne and Victoria

• Brisbane and Queensland

• Perth and Western Australia

• Adelaide and South Australia

• Canberra and the ACT

• Tasmania

• Northern Territory

• Regional, rural and remote Australia

We can search both the Australian and international healthcare talent markets, giving employers access to a considerably larger candidate pool when local recruitment has not produced the people they need.

​

Healthcare Professionals We Recruit

Our healthcare recruitment services cover a range of clinical, medical, nursing and allied health occupations.

Nursing and Midwifery Recruitment

We assist employers in recruiting professionals, including:

• Registered Nurses

• Enrolled Nurses

• Midwives

• Clinical Nurses

• Nurse Managers

• Specialist Nurses

• Aged Care Nurses

• Mental Health Nurses

• Emergency and Critical Care Nurses

• Theatre and Perioperative Nurses

Recruitment strategies can be developed around your facility, clinical requirements, location, registration requirements and workforce plans.

​

Allied Health Recruitment

Healthcare Staffing recruits qualified allied health professionals including:

• Physiotherapists

• Occupational Therapists

• Podiatrists

• Speech Pathologists

• Audiologists

• Psychologists

• Medical Radiation Professionals

• Radiographers

• Sonographers

• Other specialist allied health professionals

Australia continues to experience particularly constrained candidate supply across a number of allied health disciplines, making access to both local and international talent increasingly important for employers.

​

Medical Practitioner Recruitment

We can also assist healthcare organisations seeking medical professionals, including:

• General Practitioners

• Resident Medical Officers

• Specialist Physicians

• Psychiatrists

• Anaesthetists

• Emergency Medicine Specialists

• Surgeons

• Other eligible medical practitioners and specialists

Requirements relating to professional registration, immigration, credentialling and employment can vary significantly between occupations and locations. Our team can help employers identify the appropriate recruitment pathway before commencing an international search.

​

International Healthcare Recruitment

Recruit Healthcare Professionals From Overseas

When suitable healthcare professionals cannot be sourced locally, international recruitment can provide employers with access to a much larger pool of qualified candidates.

Healthcare staffing can develop an international recruitment strategy based on:

• the occupation you need;

• number of vacancies;

• required clinical experience;

• professional registration requirements;

• salary and employment conditions;

• metropolitan, regional or remote location;

• visa eligibility;

• employer sponsorship requirements; and

• expected commencement timeframe.

Our objective is not simply to generate applications.

We focus on identifying candidates who have the professional background, experience and realistic ability to relocate and work in Australia.

​

Healthcare Recruitment + Migration Under One Roof

International healthcare recruitment involves considerably more than finding a candidate.

The candidate may need to satisfy professional registration, skills, English language, visa and immigration requirements before they can commence employment in Australia.

Healthcare Staffing operates as part of Konnecting, giving employers access to recruitment professionals and Australian Registered Migration Agents within the same organisation.

Where applicable, we can assist employers with matters involving:

• Skills in Demand visa – subclass 482

• Employer Nomination Scheme – subclass 186

• Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional visa – subclass 494

• Employer sponsorship and nomination

• Regional migration pathways

• Designated Area Migration Agreements where applicable

• Labour Agreement options where applicable

• Visa eligibility assessments

• Employer sponsorship compliance

Eligibility depends on the occupation, candidate, employer and applicable migration legislation.

This integrated approach helps employers understand the recruitment and migration pathway before significant time is invested in an international candidate.

​

Healthcare Is a Priority Skilled-Migration Sector

Healthcare remains strategically important within Australia's skilled migration programme.

Under the Australian Government's current skilled visa processing priorities, healthcare occupations are among the occupations afforded priority for relevant skilled nomination and visa applications.

For healthcare employers considering international recruitment, this makes it particularly important to develop the recruitment, professional registration and immigration strategy together rather than treating them as separate processes.

Our Registered Migration Agents can assess the proposed position and candidate circumstances and advise on the appropriate employer-sponsored pathway.

​

Professional Registration and International Candidates

Many healthcare occupations require Australian professional registration before a person can practise.

Depending on the occupation, this may involve the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra), the relevant National Board or another professional assessing or registration authority.

We take professional registration requirements into consideration during international candidate screening.

Where appropriate, our recruitment team can work with candidates and employers to help coordinate the recruitment process around registration, immigration and expected commencement requirements.

Final registration decisions remain with the relevant professional registration authority.

​

Healthcare Staffing works with healthcare employers, including:

Hospitals

Public and private healthcare organisations seeking nursing, medical, specialist and allied health professionals.

Allied Health Practices

Single-site and multi-site allied health providers recruiting physiotherapists, occupational therapists, podiatrists, speech pathologists and other healthcare professionals.

Medical Centres and Clinics

General practices, specialist practices, multidisciplinary clinics and healthcare groups.

Aged Care Providers

Residential aged care and healthcare organisations requiring qualified nursing and healthcare personnel.

Disability and Community Healthcare Providers

Organisations delivering clinical, allied health and community-based health services.

Regional and Rural Healthcare Employers

Healthcare organisations are experiencing difficulty attracting professionals to locations outside Australia's major metropolitan centres.

​

Recruiting Healthcare Professionals for Regional Australia

Regional and rural healthcare recruitment presents different challenges from metropolitan recruitment.

Candidate attraction can depend on considerably more than remuneration.

Potential candidates may also consider:

• housing availability;

• relocation costs;

• partner employment;

• schooling;

• lifestyle;

• professional development;

• clinical supervision;

• career progression;

• regional visa opportunities; and

• long-term settlement options.

Our recruitment team can help employers develop a more compelling proposition for candidates considering relocation to regional Australia.

Where international recruitment is required, we can also assess whether regional employer-sponsored migration pathways may be available.

​

Our Healthcare Recruitment Process

1. Understand Your Workforce Requirement

We discuss the position, clinical requirements, location, salary, candidate profile and recruitment challenges.

2. Assess the Available Talent Market

We determine whether the search should focus on Australian candidates, international candidates or a combination of both.

3. Consider Registration and Migration Requirements

For overseas candidates, we consider relevant professional registration and potential migration requirements early in the process.

4. Target and Source Candidates

Our recruiters search appropriate local and international candidate markets rather than relying solely on applicants responding to job advertisements.

5. Screen and Shortlist

Candidates are reviewed against the employer's professional, clinical and employment requirements.

6. Interview and Selection

Suitable candidates are introduced to the employer for interview and selection.

7. Migration Support Where Required

Where an international candidate requires employer sponsorship, Konnecting's migration team can manage or advise on the applicable sponsorship, nomination and visa process.

8. Relocation and Commencement

We remain involved through the recruitment process to help coordinate the candidate's transition towards employment.

​

Specialist Healthcare Recruitment

We understand that healthcare recruitment requires more than matching a job title to a CV. Clinical experience, professional registration, communication skills, location and organisational fit all matter.

Australian and International Candidate Search

Employers are not restricted to one local candidate market. We can search domestically and internationally depending on the position.

Recruitment and Migration Expertise

Healthcare Staffing is part of Konnecting, combining specialist recruitment with access to Registered Migration Agents experienced in employer-sponsored migration.

Regional Recruitment Experience

We understand the additional challenges involved in recruiting healthcare professionals for regional and rural Australia.

Established Australian Recruitment and Migration Business

Konnecting has been assisting Australian employers with specialist recruitment and skilled migration solutions since 2008.

One Point of Coordination

Where international recruitment is involved, having recruitment and migration services within the same organisation can reduce unnecessary handovers and improve visibility across the process.
